Born
in Pensacola, Florida in 1918, my childhood was spent in
Washington, DC and Georgia before moving to New Orleans
in my teens. At the University of Alabama I met
my brilliant engineer husband; we were married in my sophomore
year when I was eighteen, and set of on an adventuresome
life in several southern states while he designed bridges,
then to Connecticut, Venezuela, Maryland, and finally to
New Orleans, where for 25 years he was on the Tulane faculty. We
were always interested in the forefront of science and
technology, as well as philosophy, art, and creativity,
which I have found again on the Internet.

Widowed
in 1982, I moved to a retirement home in Delaware to be
near NYC, Philadelphia, and Washington. Now a recluse
in failing health, I find my "art studio in a box" the
perfect answer for energy-sparing creativity, and Art
on the Net a delightful connection to other
artists.

After
sixty years of working in traditional art mediums, I discovered
digital art in mid 1995. With Fauve-Matisse software,
using the mouse as a brush, I am experimenting daily and
the possibilities blow my mind. The transition to
computer generated art demands even greater emphasis on
drawing. I begin with an idea drawn in my regular
sketchbook, transfer it into the computer via Sketcher
software to correct the proportions, etc., then into Fauve-Matisse
where I paint and manipulate it with filters and enhancers.
